You probably already did this, but are you sure the define that controls
including the section is actually getting set? Also, Visual Studio has a
habit of rewriting code in the .RC files so maybe it set you up somehow.
That's why the .RC2 file was created in the first place. Of course, you can
put something like this:

#ifdef APSTUDIO_INVOKED
#error This file is being protected from App Studio because it may
re-number the IDs
#endif //APSTUDIO_INVOKED

Into the file to see an error.

This is a weird one. Maybe you could post some code from the RC file?

Currently the app does not have an RC2 file, so I'm hesitant to complicate
the situation. I tried deleting all but just one of the version resources
(so
there are no conditionals involved), and still the same blank version in
the
EXE properties. I even tried adding 'pragma message("blah")' to the RC
file
to see if those sections were being compiled, but no such messages appear
(maybe pragma message doesn't work in RC files).

There has to be an incorrect compiler setting somewhere.
